Hilary Duff opens up on estranged husband

CEBU, Philippines - Hilary Duff said she and estranged husband Mike Comrie are working out their relationship post-separation. The bubbly blonde updated Us Weekly on what’s happening with the former NHL player, and co-parenting their 2-year-old son Luca.

“I don’t think Mike would ever go anywhere,” said Duff, 26. “We are really dedicated to taking care of Luca, and we’re really good friends who spend a lot of time together.” Since announcing their split in January, the two have surprised fans by subsequently taking a “Modern Family” vacation together with their tot, and even rocking out at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival last month.

“We’re not in a rush for anything,” the former Disney Channel star explained. “So we’re just trying to enjoy our lives and figure out what makes us happy and it’s working for us.” Though the two aren’t technically back together, the parents remain open to seeing what happens before possibly moving forward with their divorce.

“He’s two!” Duff gushed of her baby boy. “So he definitely has a strong personality! He opened his own door today, I couldn’t believe it! I was like, ‘Wow, when did that happen?’ Like when he can actually twist the doorknob and push the door open?”

Duff said she empathizes with her “spirited” child. “He’s a little frustrated that he can’t fully express what he wants,” she explained. “We’re still telling him what to do at certain points of the day when he’s like, ‘That’s not what I want!’ So I would say spirited is a great word to describe Luca. For the most part he has a really great demeanor. He loves to share and he’s a kind kid.” (FREEMAN)
